Join us in summiting one of the region's 6,000 m peaks and we'll ensure you receive the training that you need during the expedition.

Our itineraries

We offer three fantastic Himalayan peak climbs: Mera Peak (6,476 m), the perfect introductory climb for newbie mountaineers; Island Peak (6,189 m), a beautiful climb that includes a visit to Everest Base Camp on the return trek; and Lobuche East Peak (6,119 m), a more technical climb that also includes a visit to Everest Base Camp

Airports
Airports

Nepal has one international airport: Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM).

Usually you fly from Kathmandu to Tenzing-Hillary Airport (LUA) in Lukla to start trekking in the Everest region, but the former's airport is undergoing renovations and so many domestic flights aren't operating right now. This means you need to drive south to Ramechhap Airport (RHP) and fly to Lukla from there.
